Hi everyone,

I'd like to thank everyone for coming to this year's graduation show. The kids worked extra hard this year, and I was very proud of how well they did.

We're almost coming to the end of the semester....One week to go. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by, last September seems like such a short time ago.

The beginning of this week was spent rehearsing for the show with song rehearsal and play practice. On Thursday it was back to work. In Math class we reviewed grouping by colors, shapes, sizes, etc... We've also been working hard on writing sentences in writing class. I've been trying to get the kids to understand the basics of writing a sentence, like starting with a capitol letter, leaving space between each word, and finally ending each sentence with the appropriate punctuation.On Friday we did more review of grouping in math, and in the afternoon we practiced the sentence patterns: " Whose cat is this? It's his/her cat."

Aston did great this week. He did a very good job on Wednesday, and was very excited and happy to sing the song " Bare Necessities".

Albert did great dancing for the graduation show. He sang loud and clear, and was happy to entertain everyone.

Claire was very good as the baby ostrich. Her and Albert did very good, they especially loved being together on stage.

Bonnie was great on Wednesday. She's a natural at acting, and seems to enjoy herself very much when she's on stage.

Serena made a very good lion. She tried very hard and worked well with Jerry. The two of them were more silly than scary though.

Devon has made tremendous progress this year. He's shown a lot of progress in all his class subjects, and has done especially well in math and phonics. He also did a great job in the graduation show on Wednesday. Great job, Devon!!!

Hank did very well in Tops. He's also show a lot of improvement in math and reading over the past few weeks.

Kyle has been doing very well writing sentences. He's able to understand the basic concepts behind how to write a sentence, and his handwriting has shown great improvements as well!
